<p class="AbstractText">CeO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles (nanoceria) is a material that posseses antibacterial activity. In this study, nanoceria was combined with chitosan to increase its property. The formation of nanoceria-chitosan analyzed using X-ray diffractometer, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. activity tested the disc diffusion method on E...

Here, the antibacterial activity of dextran-coated nanoceria was examined against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis by varying the dose, the time of treatment, and the pH of the solution. Findings suggested that dextran-coated nanoceria particles were much more effective at killing P. aeruginosa and S. epidermidis at basic pH values (pH = 9) compared to acidic pH values (pH ...

In this study, a novel method using Ferula gummosa gums as capping agent was used to synthesize the nanoceria for first time. The economical and performed at room temperature. Furthermore, it coated with gold (Au/nanoceria) fully characterized X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy energy-dispersive spectroscopy (FESEM-EDX), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR)...

Cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) are a promising autologous source of cells for cardiac regenerative medicine. However, CPC culture in vitro requires the presence of microenvironmental conditions (a complex array of bioactive substance concentration, mechanostructural factors, and physicochemical factors) closely mimicking the natural cell surrounding in vivo, including the capability to uphold ...

The reliable and sensitive detection of cancer-specific biomarkers is important for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Hence, detection of these biomarkers has to be reliably and rapidly performed in diverse settings. A limitation of the conventional biomarker-screening method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is the employment of labile components, such as hydrogen peroxide and ...

OBJECTIVE Hyperglycemia, a common metabolic disorder in diabetes, can lead to oxidative damage. The use of antioxidants can benefit the control and prevention of diabetes side effects. This study aims to evaluate the effect of nanoceria particles, as an antioxidant, on glucose induced cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation (LPO) and glutathione (GSH) content in a human ...

A detailed mechanistic study reveals that instead of being postulated as oxidase-like, nanoceria is a plain nanoparticulate oxidant and dissolves completely after being reduced.

One of the uses of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria, CeO2) is as a diesel fuel additive to improve fuel efficiency. Gene/environment interactions are important determinants in the etiology of age-related disorders. Thus, it is possible that individuals on high-fat diet and genetic predisposition to vascular disease may be more vulnerable to the adverse health effects of particle exposure. ...

Many neurodegenerative diseases are known to occur and progress because of oxidative stress, the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in excess of the cellular defensive capabilities. Age related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and inherited retinal degeneration share oxidative stress as a common node upstream of the blinding effects of these diseases. Knockout of the...

Recently, it has been published that cerium (Ce) oxide nanoparticles (CNP; nanoceria) are able to downregulate tumor invasion in cancer cell lines. Redox-active CNP exhibit both selective pro-oxidative and antioxidative properties, the first being responsible for impairment of tumor growth and invasion. A non-toxic and even protective effect of CNP in human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) has already ...
